Why is the equipment and item menu so annoying to navigate? I don't even care about individuals having to carry their own stuff (which is antiquated) why is it so cumbersome to figure out of an item is good for a character?

Konami has zero consistency with their remake products. The contra and castlevania ports are all over the place with features. Why have rewind in castlevania but not contra? What's with the saving difference in all these games?

Just bare bones qol improvements

God the inventory management sucks ass. The only way to even know if a character can equip something is by transferring it to their inventory first, then going to the equip screen and checking. Especially annoying because this game constantly forces new characters into your active party with crappy outdated equipment.

Once I got effectively infinite money from the gambler dude, I started just buying new equipment from the armor shop anytime someone new got forced into my party. Just to avoid swapping shit back and forth from storage trying to figure out what they can use through trial and error.

But hey, it automatically saves when you enter a screen with a save point on it! Quality of life!!

I had a moment where I was like, No I must be doing something wrong cause this inventory management blows!!!

1997 lunarorbit is wondering why I'm bitching so much cause he loved this game.

One of these days I'll make a thread about what not to do in rpg remakes.

Edit: also why the fuck do the items you pick up just automatically go to the character in the #1 spot, (front row ti the left)? Someone leaves early in the story and of course they have my lightening rune and an urn in their possession. Never seeing those again.

Someone was saying that in the original PSX version it would show you the stat change when you were transferring equipment in the inventory screen, so the remake is a downgrade in this regard. It’s been so long, I don’t remember if that was the case but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Man I’m still grateful that we at least have a way to play these games on modern systems and that Konami still recognizes their existence, but this just feels so half baked and it looks cheap. Suikoden deserved better

It has arrived:

Need to wrap up KCD2 and MH Wilds before jumping in though, hyped!

 

[Jinxed]

Bought a physical copy this weekend, only had time to play it an hour. I'm glad we can have these games, next is lunar!

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I'm.half way through suikoden 1 and it's got me in the mood to play 3 more than anything.

How's people progress? Finished S1 enjoyed it for what it is a product of its time 1995. I've seen posts where people prefer S1 to 2.. don't understand this at all. s1 isn't a great game. Still good for what it is.

I'm trying to farm double beat runes near the start of s2. Not much luck only one so far .

 

[Northeastmonk]

I’m three quarters the way through with S1. It’s good, but I prefer S2. I can understand how someone could enjoy S1 more, but to me S2 expands upon S1 in lots of ways. Gotta love the big battles and duals in this franchise.

Konami, in all its wisdom, put Denuvo in a remaster of a 25 year old game. Awesome move.

Why spread misinformation? It doesn't have Denuvo.

 

[Liopleurodon]

I bought games on Steam, but really only to support this whole Suikoden revival thing.

Not sure when I will actually play them, though.

I thought it was at the time.

Played the originals back in the day, finished both of the remasters on hard(?) mode, Suikoden 1 is so ass oh my god. Suikoden 2 is an improvement in every possible regard, but most importantly the story events and storytelling are just light years ahead of S1. Now I just want to play Suikoden 3 again.

I didn't farm the OP runes in S2 and I'd just say don't waste your time because honestly, the game is easy even on hard mode.

I'm pretty sure they didn't just remove it on launch day. It never said on the store page that it would include Denuvo, and it didn't.

I played roughly half of the first one for now, going to play more on the Deck during a long train ride next weekend... I played it as a kid back when it released and, of course, remember it very differently. I thought it would be much bigger, but actually you can probably finish it in around 15-20 hours.

Fixing the BGM playback during battles

BGM playback is a welcomed update, it was annoying

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

AHH yeah was abit annoying. I found myself using double/triple speed more than I should and playing at normal felt like moving through quicksand.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

New controversy.




Nonsense, considering that those games are from the PS1 era and can be on the cartridge without any problem.

 

[consoul]

This is some cheap ass bullshit.
The game is what 7GB?
This ain't some 64GB monster where the cart costs would be prohibitive. Fuck Konami again.
